What is your signal strength like? Almost sounds like the tuner is doing resets since the show is 60 mins, and u only got 32..JMHO

I had to have a tech come and install my 722 when it was swapped for the 3rd faulty 612 (which for some reason I was able to install the 2 612's and a 622 before by myself). I am guessing it is a shot at making $$ altho I didn't pay for my install as an existing customer with a crapped out box...

I can't speak to the 211, but I went thru 3 612's in a year!

I have had numerous probs with the 612...first one just plain crapped out...second kept giving me a message that "remote cannot connect to receiver"...don't remember the error number, but it would only flash for a split second, also flashed "smart card is not authorized" ..took 2 calls to get...

OK, I finally got an answer by calling...first rep was great, and kept me on for 1/2 hr and pushed up to her supervisor....couldn't find the error code....so I looked REALLY hard at the next flash and saw 112,,,seems like it is an odd error and doesn't usually affect 612's...so I guess I am...

Actually a couple of probs..I can call support, but we all know how that goes.... ;) First...random pop of "your smart card is not authorized message" actually have no smart card as this receiver is fairly new to the home, and I didn't have to do the "switch" a while back. Second.....at...

And take video footage for proof...and...um..to post here?

Check your grounding also! I had a 612 pull the same crap, and whenit was replaced, the tech checked the outlet and found it was improperly grounded (older home) so we had to make some adjustments...also, just as an FYI...I find the 612 a steaming pile of pile compared to my 622...lags on DVR...

still on...1:22 cst

VHF I'll bet I had the same prob here in Sioux City...our local affiliate went back to VHF after the switch. My 622 and 612 both showed the channel in a scan, but had nothing on the channel...check, and I'll bet you have a UHF antenna. I picked up a Weingard HD1080 for around $50 to replace...

I have had a 622 since they came out, and recently got a 612 for the new TV in the fam room....anyhow...tonight I had set a timer to record "Monk" ..as we were watching a show on DVR, noticed that the record light wasn't on, so went to live TV and hit record button...got the "Do u wiosh to...

I had to lie cheat and steal to upgrade my 211 to a 612 when I got a new TV in the fam room...not sure why they are protecting them! ( I was told I couldn't get another 622 or a 722 because I already have 2 dual receivers[311 and 622])

Kind of on the same subject, and I hope to not high jack the thread, but if I set up an external drive on my 622, can I also then use it to view stuff on my 612?

OK..I have HD to my 622, and am looking to upgrade my sd receiver to hd w/ dvr ..can I get a deal with a re-up? What if any will be montly charge for a second HD rvcvr?

I have a 622 on my main, and the other stuf rates back to pre HD days..I want to upgrade my only single feed rcvr to HD w/DVR,,what option should I go with as far as receivers, and what do u think it will cost me...I am OK with a renewal type deal since I don't have decent options for HD other...
